🚀 🚀 Ever wished your applications could instantly react to events happening in other systems? That's where webhooks come in! 🌟 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐛𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬? Webhooks are HTTP callbacks triggered by specific events in an application. They allow for real-time communication between systems. When a predefined event occurs, the webhook sends an HTTP POST request to a specified URL, providing data about the event. 🌟 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐞𝐛𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬: 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭-𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘶𝘱𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴: Receive instant notifications for critical events. 𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺: Eliminate the need for polling or manual checks. 𝘚𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴: Streamline connections between different systems. 𝘌𝘯𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: Automate workflows based on event triggers. 🌟 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬: 𝘌-𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦: Process payments, manage orders, and send shipping notifications. 𝘚𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢: Handle likes, comments, and mentions. 𝘗𝘢𝘺𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴: Receive payment confirmations and fraud alerts. 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵: Track task updates, deadlines, and assignments.

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗔𝗣𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲? 🤔 This depends on the 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 nature of the API. Let's understand what do we mean by idempotent? 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 Imagine you’re managing a banking app. You have an endpoint to set a customer's account balance 💵 : 𝙿𝚄𝚃 /𝚊𝚌𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚝𝚜/𝟷𝟸𝟹𝟺𝟻/𝚋𝚊𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎 { "𝚋𝚊𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎": 𝟻𝟶𝟶𝟶 } You send a request to set the balance to Rs. 5000. But, oops! You hit the "send" button three times by accident. No worries! Thanks (or no thanks!) to the 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 nature of the PUT request, the account balance will still be Rs. 5000. Whether you send it once or a hundred times, the outcome is the same (better luck next time!). This makes retrying failed requests safe and predictable. 𝗡𝗼𝗻-𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 Now, let’s switch gears. Say your app also allows to transfer money 🏦 : 𝙿𝙾𝚂𝚃 /𝚊𝚌𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚝𝚜/𝟷𝟸𝟹𝟺𝟻/𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚜𝚏𝚎𝚛 { "𝚊𝚖𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚝": 𝟷𝟶𝟶, "𝚝𝚘𝙰𝚌𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚝": "𝟼𝟽𝟾𝟿𝟶" } You send a request to transfer Rs. 100 to account 67890. But then, your internet hiccups, and you click "send" again... and again. Each click results in an additional Rs. 100 being transferred! Because POST is 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁, each request creates a new transaction, potentially draining the account unintentionally. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀? Reliability: Idempotent operations ensure that retrying requests (due to network issues or user error) doesn’t cause unintended side effects. Safety: Developers can design APIs that are resilient to failures and reduce the risk of duplications. Simplicity: Debugging and maintaining systems becomes easier when repeated actions produce consistent results. Next time you design an API or troubleshoot a network glitch, remember the magic of idempotency! #APIs #SoftwareEngineering #WebDevelopment #TechInsights #Idempotency #BankingTech

MIDWEEK Read: Do we need a revolution in software quality? YES, argues SmartBear CEO Frank Roe Read here why the industry veteran thinks so as Roe argues the software testing space is at "a breaking point" https://lnkd.in/dT86ScAC #SmartBear #SoftwareQuality #QA #SoftwareTesting #ICT #IT #QAtesting

🚨 The Overlooked Necessity of Testing in Software Development 🚨 As a quality and testing expert, it's disheartening to witness the frequency of basic testing failures in the industry. This issue transcends company size - even giants aren't immune. 🎥 Example: Google's YouTube failing to filter out horror ads in children's videos. 💻 Case in point: Telenet and GoPlay's video player compatibility issues with Mac and Safari. 🍞 A local example: A bakery's website update leading to a non-functional ordering system. 🤖 A startup launching an AI on an HTTP website, only to find it unresponsive.These instances aren't just minor oversights; they're glaring examples of neglecting the fundamental principles of software testing. Such lapses lead to loss of customer trust and credibility. 🛡️ Testing is your insurance in the digital world. It's the assurance that your product not only functions but excels in the market. Would you drive a car without insurance? Then why launch software without rigorous testing?Let's prioritize quality. Test thoroughly, launch confidently, and maintain the trust of your customers by delivering top-notch products. #SoftwareTesting #QualityAssurance #TechIndustry #BestPractices #Testing #QA

🔍 Software Testing: The Unsung Hero of Tech Innovation Ever wonder why some apps feel polished while others frustrate users? The secret lies in rigorous software testing. It's not just about finding bugs. It's about: • Ensuring seamless user experiences • Safeguarding data integrity • Building trust with customers Quality testing can make or break a product launch. As technology evolves, so do testing methodologies: 1. AI-powered test automation 2. Shift-left testing approaches 3. Performance testing in the cloud The result? Faster deployments without sacrificing quality. What's your experience with software testing? Has it saved a project from disaster? #SoftwareTesting #QualityAssurance #TechInnovation

🎉 Breaking News: Updating Software Can Transform Your Business (Said No One Ever haha! ) 🚀 For a moment, Forget about innovation, strategy, or customer satisfaction!

We have AI in place, and you are just ignoring it as your EX is passing through, but UUP’s, he is Dad. But seriously, just reboost your company's productivity and efficiency by developing and updating your current application. So, if you're ready to take your business to new heights of success, feel free to ping me and I will be sharing an entire plan for you. Don't worry I will be not asking for your PayPal account name for it. Might be later! #aiintegration #softwareupdate #consultation #ai #aidevelopment

APIs are the backbone of modern applications, but even the smallest change can ripple through your entire system. 😦 That’s why testing them for breaking changes is crucial. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: A breaking change can disrupt integrations, frustrate users, and harm your business. Whether you’re a developer or a CTO, knowing how to spot and prevent these issues is key to maintaining a seamless digital experience. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗔𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱: 1. 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹: Keep track of changes and avoid unexpected impacts. 2. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: Ensure API responses remain consistent. 3. 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: Catch issues early with continuous integration. 4. 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗮 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Validate data structures to prevent errors. 5. 𝗠𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀: Simulate API environments to test without risk.
